"Art of Peace" Profiles Two Films in Competition for the Fund for SB's "Social Justice Award" Tonight (Weds., 7-8pm)

On Wednesday, February 3rd, Philip Le Vasseur, your host for “Art of Peace,” will be discussing the Social Justice Award for Documentary Film with a spokesperson for the award’s sponsor, Geoff Green (Executive Director of the Fund for Santa Barbara), along with three filmmakers, Joshua King-Ortiz and Mohamed Elsawi of “The University of Nuclear Bombs” — an analysis of nuclear weapons, nuclear policy and the role of the University of California in their creation — and Michael Nash of “Climate Refugees” — an investigation of human migrations caused by climate change.

The award is given annually during the Santa Barbara International Film Festival to a film that makes a particularly valuable contribution to advancing social justice.
